  I’d call frogger a platformer, but the water aspect is only aesthetic. So disagree with OP on that but for different reasons.

  They are known for their electrical grid, that’s for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, perhaps I’m just wrong then. But for me, I see twenty tears of MS buying up studios, sitting on them, and closing them with some sort of excuse about changed plans. It’s always the same though, studio performs well, gets bought, makes no games or games out of their genre, and closes. Call it whatever you want, I call it business as usual.

  It’s how these large corporations operate though. Ignore, buy, or bury, that’s how they all operate. They may have ‘plans’ to use the studio, but for them if all they get are the assets and a less of a threat from the old ip, then that’s enough. I don’t think it makes any sense either, but it also absolutely something microsoft has done for years in their larger business model.

  They know exactly what they are doing, they are reducing competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Supreme Court allows third country deportations to resume⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do love the fact that right after Pakistan put him up for that, he starts an unprovoked war. Everyone gets their face eaten, no exceptions.

  Next geo-engineering proposal: suck all that extra energy into space. Just skim a little off the top, maybe we’ll get some of those greenhouse gases out of here while we’re at it. There’s a lot of atmosphere out there, ok. We’re in an abundance economy with the atmosphere. We could probably stand to lose a little if I’m being honest. I ran the numbers through my bespoke AI, AImosphere, and it really liked the idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, sounds like I should avoid this reddit you speak of. Any suggestions for alternatives?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Wikimedia Foundation Pauses an Experiment That Showed Wikipedia Users AI-Generated Summaries at The Top of Some Articles, Following an Editor Backlash.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I canceled my recurring over this about a week ago, explaining that this was the reason. One of their people sent me a lengthy response that I appreciated. Still going to wait a year before I reinstate it, hopefully they fully move on from this idea by then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Never thought I’d cancel my recurring donation for them, but just sent the email. I hope they change their mind on this, but as I told them, I will not support this.

  A schooner is a sailboat, dummiehead!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Was on Bluesky the other day and saw greg pak posted something along the lines of:

  _We’ve successfully recreated the pre-elon twitter experience, but we forgot that it also sucked. _

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk says millions in Social Security database are between ages of 100 and 159⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Much like all the ‘questions’ about voting back in 2020, almost all of these issues come down to people not knowing how shit works and assuming that means that no one else does. So much misinformation is just partial facts with no context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a free speech Lemmy instance⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It appears that you are looking to get all of the benefits of community, while absolving yourself of any of the responsibilities. You want to use someone else’s i stance, without having to follow any of their rules. You want to have your own little safe space to spew whatever it is that obviously goes against community guidelines, but also for that space to be able to interact freely with the community. We don’t want to interact with you on that level, that’s why we are all here, following those rules.

  If you really want a place where you can say whatever shitty thing you think everyone eeds to hear, then go make your own instance.

  Which will be de-federated from all of these instances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reopening Three Mile Island nuclear plant for Microsoft data centers could cost taxpayers $1.6 billion⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Alternatively, ‘Huge corpo wants to siphon government money to reopen nuclear facility years after disaster’ sure sounds like the dystopian version to me.
